<p>I use multiple harnesses and… I don’t get what the fuss is all about? I seriously don’t care what I use for the most part.<p>I mean a “harness” is basically just something that turns models output to action. Just have model return json with what it wants to execute and execute it is basically it. Your machine _is_ the damn harness.<p>All the ergonomy and features are doomed to be obsolete as we get better models, so… whatever.</p>

<p>> People who do not have Celiac and say they are gluten sensitive usually are not.<p>“We don’t know any (other) mechanism by which gluten could hurt them, hence their lived experience is invalid.”<p>I _suspect_ gluten can contribute to my brain fog. The problem is, there are so many variables it is next to impossible to change only one in daily life. In fact, when you dig into it, so much literature is just trash as experiments don’t control for all variables.<p>Hence, I don’t claim that it does. But pasta reliably makes me a zombie and something like potato doesn’t, so glucose can’t be the mechanism.<p>Body is a complex system and pretending we understand it is hurting people.</p>

<p>> Keep in mind that the NSDAP also operated within the legal boundaries.<p>I am no expert but you might be correct - quick search shows they exploited legal loopholes, essentially hacked the system. I am afraid we haven’t learned much feom it as recent history shows.<p>That said, legal framework has thankfully changed since and in Europe there is the Europen Convention of Human Rights, plus the constitutional rights. That said, they are not failable, and are equally explotable by left and right, especially if the conditions are right, such as fear.<p>So ok, point taken, even those who operate within legal bounds today need to be watched closely - on all sides.<p>And yes I think being homosexual and far anything is pretty weird, as neither far left nor right would tolerate homosexuality IMO. Socialism proved that.<p>And btw, despite what historians tell, the NSDAP sold itself to the voters on the _left_ ideas. Fascism likewise. In fact, when blinded, some left thinkers have enforsed fascist ideas. Again, hilarious. But true.<p>Here are some points from fascist manifesto if you don’t believe me:<p>- Universal suffrage by regional list voting, with proportional representation, voting and eligibility for women.<p>- Minimum age for voters lowered to 18; minimum age for deputies lowered to 25.<p>- The prompt enactment of a state law enshrining the legal eight-hour workday for all jobs.<p>- Minimum wages.<p>- The participation of workers' representatives in the technical operation of industry.<p>- The entrusting to the proletarian organizations themselves (who are morally and technically worthy) of the management of public industries or services.<p>- The speedy and complete settlement of the railroad workers and all transportation industries.<p>- A necessary amendment of the Disability and Old Age Insurance Bill by lowering the age limit, currently proposed at 65, to 55.<p>It’s comical that an organisation endorsing and expanding these same ideas is called “antifa”. In fact, people today have no clue what fascism was, they just use it as label for whatever they disagree with, same as “far right”.<p>Those who don’t know history are indeed condemned to repeat it.</p>

<p>Ah, AfD, the party with female lesbians leader, right? typical far right, point taken.<p>Otherwise, yes, I think labeling any party which works within the legal bounds as “far” is dangerous. Because there are legit far groups which should not be permitted on both sides of the spectrum. And we better know what is legitimate and what not.</p>

<p>Ah yes, you only need to set the label, those who disagree need to prove the negative. Pretty typical.<p>What is “far right”, btw? What are objective measurable criteria?<p>> The "left" spans such a huge range right now that to be "not left" is basically far right<p>Jesus Christ, you can’t be serious. But then again, I am not surprised that you are.</p>
